Jen Affleck is giving fans an update on her relationship with her co-star from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives andĀ Dancing With the Stars, Whitney Leavitt.

The two MomTok stars both competed on Season 34 of theĀ ABCĀ show, with Jen getting eliminated after Week seven of the competition, while Whitney remains in the mix of celebrities still vying for the Mirrorball trophy.

Following her cut,Ā Jenn appeared to allude to a feud between herself and her co-star when she made a comment on social mediaĀ saying she wouldn’t root for her.

 

Now, after fans continued to try and decipher what that meant, Jen, 26, is starting to set the record straight.

In a new interview ahead of the third season premiere of Mormon Wives, she revealed that she and Whitney, 32, are no longer friends.

ā€œThere is no relationship, unfortunately,ā€ she toldĀ E! News. ā€œSome things happened, so, yeah, we’ve kind of just taken a step back.

She went on to allude that their relationship had ended before they actually competed on the show, sharing that they tried to keep things civil while on the set.

ā€œBeing onĀ Dancing with the StarsĀ was a dream of both of ours, I think we, at least for me, just wanted to make that experience only positive, and leave the drama of our other show,ā€ she said.

ā€œUnfortunately, I think there were moments where it was hard for it not to bleed intoĀ Dancing With the Stars, but you know I’m happy for her, it’s a dream for her to be there too, and honestly, I really do, even though we’re not on good terms, I do hope she makes it far.ā€

Whitney is currently the celebrity at the top of the leaderboard, with the highest average score and biggest total of accumulated judges’ points for the season.

Jen’s update comes as fans wondered if the two were on bad terms, after noticing they didn’t have a warm interaction after Jen’s elimination, with others sharing they thought Whitney smirked after Jen was announced as the celebrity leaving the show.

ā€œWhitney was literally smirking when Jen got eliminated but yes the mother who has been struggling horribly with prenatal and postpartum depression, she’s the mean girl lol,ā€ one person commented on Jen’sĀ TikTokĀ at the time. ā€œThat’s crazy.ā€

ā€œI saw her avoiding Whitney like the plague. Literally the last one (if she even did) hug,ā€ another said.

ā€œI was wondering why Jen and Whitney didn’t immediately go to each other after the elimination. Lg that answers my question,ā€ another added.

Jen will be back for the show’s finale on Nov. 25.
